Looking back, that $40 I dropped on a detailed 'how to ask better questions' guide online actually saved me a ton of time getting useful answers here.
I was getting vague replies for months until I followed its advice to include specific details like my budget and what I'd already tried, which completely changed the quality of help I received.

Seems like common sense to me.

Ha, but is it really though? Common sense is basically what people already agree on, which changes depending on who you ask and where they grew up. I feel like "common sense" gets thrown around to shut down conversations or make people feel dumb for not knowing something. Honestly, a lot of stuff that seems obvious now wasn't obvious at all a few decades ago. So I'd argue it's more like a social shortcut than actual universal truth lol.

Common sense is my second language, and I'm still learning the basics.
